CAREFUL SHARING PERSONAL DATA WITH STRANGERS
Hey
@**********Event
This is certainly a nice concept, and it could make keeping in touch with everybody very convenient. Unfortunately, it's probably not a great idea...
Please be very careful when sharing personal information with strangers - especially in this context. Some awkward situations may arise, or at worst, someone's safety might be put at risk.
WhatsApp doesn't allow much anonymity. WhatsApp may be encrypted, but the identities of those using it are not, and it's only a matter of minutes until people in the group will start getting "friend suggestions" from Facebook.
Even if the list is managed manually, once it gets larger than a few dozen people, it will become very hard to control. Also, people's situations change. A couple's profile might become a single male due to a breakup, but his WhatsApp stays the same.
...but that's presuming only men are stalkers
It is hard to keep people safe, but JOYclub is trying to keep systems in place to help. My advice is to keep the conversation here. Besides, that's what the groups are for.
